Hi there, What happens when four hot sauce makers apply for a trademark? That's not the start of a bad joke but the topic of the latest Craft Hot Sauce podcast! I interviewed several hot sauce makers, and we all spoke about our past experiences and lessons learned from registering a trademark for a hot sauce brand...

Tis the season for seeing beautiful chili peppers coming in and dreaming up new hot sauces. I've been working on a fermented Louisiana-style sauce that hits this past month and tried dozens of creative homemade hot sauces at the Chilifest Hot Sauce contest put on by Kitchen Garden Farm.

Hope you’re getting out there and enjoying the warmer weather, and maybe even checking out some local hot sauce makers at farmer's markets in your area. Last month, we had Jay Turner from Burns & McCoy on the Craft Hot Sauce podcast. Jay makes one of the hottest all-natural hot sauces, Exhoresco, as well as one of my favorite unique hot sauces, White Lightning.
